Spielberg observed the spot-on coaching of this kid, asked him to read for the part, and he got it. A big break!

After that he had a few parts but when they dried up, he went to film school to do technical work. Getting the acting bug again, he signed with an agent and the Everything film was the first part offered to him. He choked up when thanking Spielberg for his first big break at a recent awards event.
I might have seen the same interview, and I had the same thoughts. What a cool story! And he made a decision to go back to acting late in life, and look what happened!! It's almost like his life played out the multiverse scenario in the movie he made!! And he seems like such a nice guy..

Now that EEAAO has won 7 Oscars, I'm definitely going to revisit it. Maybe start the movie earlier in the day.
